Using a knife, chop the ends off the zucchinis. Cut the zucchinis in half. Use a spiralizer fitted with a shredder blade C, secure, and spiralize the zucchini.
Use kitchen scissors to trim noodles as the noodles come out. If you don’t trim, your noodles will be very long. I prefer to trim because they’re easier to eat. Set the noodles aside.
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until pink and set aside.
In the same skillet add garlic, onions and red pepper flakes. Cook until onions are golden brown.
Add the zucchini noodles and cook for about 3 minutes. If you cook them any longer than that, the zucchinis can be a little soggy. Don’t forget to stir occasionally.
When the zucchini noodles are ready, place them on two plates, top with homemade tomato sauce, shrimp, and cherry tomatoes! Enjoy your meal!
Notes
Small to medium zucchinis are ideal for the zucchini noodles. Super large zucchinis tend to be watery.
You can buy shrimp pre-peeled, deveined, and tails removed to cut down on your prep time.
Fresh or frozen shrimp is fine for the recipe. Just make sure frozen shrimp is fully thawed before cooking.
To store: I don't recommend storing this recipe for too long as the zucchini can become watery. Try to eat this recipe within 2 days.
To reheat: You can enjoy the dish straight from the fridge or gently toss in a skillet.
